Meghan, an ICU nurse is in charge of taking care of Caitlin, a woman who appears to have jumped from a bridge. Her city appears to have a man who is deliberately attacking women and everyone is on alert. While attending a meeting for newly divorced people Meghan runs into an old friend from high school, Nat Cohen. They have their ex spouses in common (Declan and Ben) and Nat is being abused. Meghan is immediately invested because as a nurse she is a fixer. Nothing is how it seems

Mary Kubica never disappoints. From the prologue to the last page you will be left breathless and turning pages as fast as you can. Every time I think I can predict what is happening or what will happen next, nope, I’m wrong.

I'm not sure why I waited until the last minute to read this book. I've only ever read one other book by her, just the nicest couple, and it was okay. Others have recommended Local woman missing, and pretty baby as her best books. I haven't gotten that far yet because my TBR pile is 100 books long, but after this I will make sure those books move to the top of my pile.

I think I was initially thrown off by the first chapter, starts off with a kidnapping. I don't particularly like reading books about kidnapping, as a mother of three you could assume why. But once you got into the book it was super good. There are lots of twists and turns, high anxiety from all the lies and half truths. When it all comes full circle it makes sense with some of the tiny details and I was super impressed with the way the author's brain worked. It also didn't hurt that there was another full circle moment when all the lose ties were nicely cleaned up (which I really appreciate)

Thank you netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Meghan is a divorced mother and ICU nurse who does a great job at separating her work and home lives- until Caitlin becomes her patient. Caitlin is thought to have jump off a bridge in attempt to die, but after some time in a coma, a witness comes forward saying Caitlin was pushed. As Meghan grows too close to the Beckett family, her home life begins to spiral with her tumultuous relationship with her ex, her up and down relationship with her teen daughter Sierra, and her stressful, recently rekindled friendship with Nat.

This author is an instant read for me and I have read every one of her books. This one was definitely the slowest start. It took to about 65% to pickup, but the last 35% of the book was twist after twist. I enjoyed the story, but I do wish the beginning was less slow, though that did not stop me from wanting to keep reading and see what happened.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I have read a few books by Mary Kubica. A few I really enjoyed….this was I'm on the fence with. Two third ls of the book moved at a really slow pace and I just didn't know where the story could possibly be going. There were three different parts of the story that just seemed completely separate from each other and I feel like it just watered down the whole story. Then there's a twist. It was a good one. I actually wondered if I had missed something and had to flip back to check. Then the pace picks up. In the end, I felt like I was left with questions. All in all, it held my interest, but it just wasn't my favorite. I'd still definitely pick up more of her books in the future though!

Out April 2.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own. My review will be posted on goodreads, Bookbub, and Amazon once it publishes.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for a eARC of this book! 3.75 stars. This was a fun thriller and I enjoyed how all the moving pieces came together by the end, although I do still have a couple lingering questions about certain characters. I found the premise of following a nurse and her comatose patient to be really interesting. Without giving anything away because I want to keep this spoiler free, the feasibility of the twist is the only thing keeping me from giving this book a higher rating. Since my copy was early and it was not edited/formatted to the extent the finished copy will be, I’m not sure if there will be a dinkus to format everything so that the twist “works” so to speak and isn’t unfair to the reader I guess. It’s hard to explain without spoiling anything so I’ll just leave it there. I’ll have to check out a finished copy. If this twist does in fact work though I thought it was a damn good one and it completely got me which I always love.

Thank you Park Row Books, HTP Books, HTP Hive for my #gifted copy of She’s Not Sorry!

What a ride! Mary Kubica has once again delivered a top notch thriller with so many amazing twists and turns! Go into this one blind.

Meghan Michaels is a single mom and an ICU nurse. While on duty, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. Was Caitlin pushed off a bridge, or did she jump? Always trying to stay emotionally detached from her patients, Meghan starts to get a little too close to Caitlin and her family. Who pushed Caitlin and Why? Could others still be in danger?

I literally had to pick my jaw up off the ground with these twists! I have loved every single one of Mary Kubica’s books and this one might be my favorite one yet! This book was so easy to binge and was a fast read. I highly recommend this one for anyone who loves a good thriller!

I really liked this book, and it was incredibly difficult to put down. However, I feel like there were quite a few loose ends that were never tied up, mostly relating to "why" of it all. Like, WHY did these characters do what they did? Why was Caitlin the way she was? I don't think I missed a major reveal, so I was left quite confused. I did enjoy it while I was reading it, but after the fact I'm a little less enchanted.

2.5- I know I’m still new to the thriller/suspense genre, rather than toe dipping I’m now ankle deep so my review of this book might be off base. This really didn’t draw me in like other thrillers I’ve read and if this had been my first one I likely would never read another.
Meghan Michaels is an ICU nurse and a single Mom to a teenage daughter living in the heart of downtown Chicago. When a comatose patient named Caitlin is brought in one day Meghan listens to the gossip of the other nurses and learns that Caitlin jumped off a bridge in an attempt to kill herself. A few days later the police show up having proof that Caitlin didn’t jump, rather she was pushed. Meghan feels things aren’t quite adding up and decides to do some investigating on her own. In a second story arc, Meghan runs into an old high school classmate at a divorce support group and rekindles their friendship when she sees that Nat’s not yet divorced and her husband is abusive. In yet another story arc there is a serial rapist on the loose, targeting single women entering their apartment buildings. Meghan is slightly worried about this but the other two events take precedence in her thoughts.
There was a lot going on in this book, so much so that I felt it was completely diluted. I’m not sure where the author was going with the serial killer plot and it seemed like she wasn’t sure what she wanted the main theme of this to be, so she tried combining the two. It didn’t work at all and was completely unnecessary.
I had a hard time believing this was written by a seasoned author because the style of writing was so pedestrian, especially for a thriller. I expect thrillers to be fast paced, to keep me on the edge of my seat, gasping and turning the page as quickly as possible, but this was just ho-hum. So many things were repeated within the same chapter as Meghan discussed her thoughts that we had already read with other characters or that were repeated for the sake of repeating (how many times do we need to read about a coworker’s shaky marriage?).
I was so excited to read this as I truly am starting to enjoy thrillers and I was so disappointed by it. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an advanced copy of this. She’s Not Sorry hits the shelves on April 2nd.

An ICU nurse accidentally uncovers a patient’s frightening past in this chilling thriller.

Meghan Michaels is trying to find balance between being a single mom to a teenage daughter and working as a full time nurse. While on duty at the hospital one day, a patient named Caitlin arrives in a coma with a traumatic brain injury, having jumped from a bridge and plunging over twenty feet to the train tracks below.

But when a witness comes forward with shocking details about the fall, it calls everything they know into question. Was Caitlin pushed and if so, by whom and why?

Meghan has always tried to stay emotionally detached from her patients, but this time, she mistakenly lets herself get too close until she’s deeply entangled in Caitlin’s and her family’s lives. Only when it’s too late, does she realize that she and her daughter could be the next victims.


Love Mary Kubica and as always this one was twisty and couldn't put it down!

Mary Kubica is a go to author for me and she will continue to be. SHE’S NOT SORRY didn’t hit. It was a slow burn that lost my attention and even with a twist, it didn’t grab me enough to fall back into the story.

Such a bunch of twists and turns but also a lot of loose ends and questionable connections. This book comes out on April 2 and worth the read. The author's character development and details are weill done and keeps you engaged in the story trying to figure it all out. Basically three different plots all intertwine but don’t quite add up. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book.

This book! Holy cow what a ride. In this book we follow Meghan, an ICU nurse, who is caring for a patient who jumped off a bridge. Or that’s how it seemed until whether she jumped or was pushed is called into question. I honestly don’t want to summarize more than this because this book needs to be experienced.

Because wow what an experience. It did start out a little bit slow but once things started happening it all came together and the build up was more than worth it. I’m fairly sure I didn’t breathe the last 25%. The way the author crafted this story is incredible. The twists were well thought out and satisfying. Just a truly well written thriller.

I will be recommending this to all my friends who love a good roller coaster of a book. I loved it.

In "She's Not Sorry," Mary Kubica introduces readers to Meghan Michaels, an experienced ICU nurse balancing her career with the challenges of raising her teenage daughter, Sienna. When Meghan is tasked with caring for a 32-year-old woman who appears to have jumped off a high bridge, she finds herself drawn into a web of mystery surrounding the patient's injuries.

As a fellow nurse, I appreciated Kubica's attention to detail in portraying the hospital environment and medical procedures. However, I occasionally found Meghan's intense involvement in unraveling the patient's story to be somewhat unrealistic.

Nevertheless, Kubica masterfully takes readers on a captivating journey filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. The layers added to the narrative enhanced the overall intrigue and made for an exhilarating read.

In conclusion, "She's Not Sorry" is a must-read for fans of mystery and thriller genres. Kubica's skillful storytelling will leave you thoroughly entertained and eager for more.

3.5 Rounded Up

Meghan Michaels is an ICU Nurse caring for, Caitlin, a suspected survivor of a suicide attempt. But while caring for her a witness comes forward and claims that she saw someone with Caitlin on the bridge she fell from. So did Caitlin jump or was she pushed? Meghan’s curiosity for the case builds as she learns more about Caitlin and starts to investigate the incident herself. But by putting herself in other people’s business she may be also putting herself in danger.

The plot is the star here! Such an entertaining, twisty, action packed thriller. The first half was a bit slow and repetitive but the second half made up for it. I was pleasantly surprised by the direction this ended up going in! Some stronger writing elements and connections between the characters and events could have made this a lot better but it was still a really enjoyable read.

Whoa! This book is fantastic! I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. My pulse was up, my heart pounding through my chest, my mind spinning faster than a tornado. Mary Kubica has written a phenomenal high octane read. That had me jumping from one conclusion to the next. There was so much going on, that I could never catch my breath. I fell in love with Meghan and her sixteen-year-old daughter Sienna. Their bond is unbreaking no matter what they have endured. The details and the descriptions make you feel the frigid cutting wind as it barrels down the winter streets. You feel the anxiety and fear as Meghan makes that trip home from work every night. Knowing that at any moment she could be grabbed, you just know the streets are not safe...

Meghan is an ICU nurse whose patient tried to take her own life. Her parents are sweet and in so much agony. Watching and willing their daughter to wake up. Meghan is there for them no matter what. As the days march on, Meghan picks up on some weird vibes from the family. She knows she is just imagining things. It makes her even more jumpy as the dark, frigid nights surround her. I do not want to go into much detail and give anything away. Just know that this book needs to be on your TBR! Thank you to Mary Kubica and Park Row for my gifted copy of this intense read that does not let up.

A woman, Caitlin, merely missed landing on the railroad tracks when she fell from a bridge near the highway. She’s lucky to be alive, but was it a suicide attempt or was she pushed? Now, she’s unrecognizable and lying in a coma under the care of Meghan who’s very interested in what happened to this poor woman.

Meghan is trying to balance a full time nursing career, co-parenting a teenage daughter with her ex-husband, and investigating the case that put her patient into the ICU. Her curiosity may put her life in danger, but she needs to know what kind of person Caitlin was and why she wanted to take her own life.

I thought I had the mystery all figured out, but the author hit us with the biggest twists that made my heart lurch and sent my jaw to the floor. This was a captivating thriller that had me on the edge of the couch gasping 🫢 and yelling “what!?” many times. My mind is still reeling with all the surprises that were revealed and I’m sure that this could be my most favorite book of the year!

She's Not Sorry was such a fun ride; thrilling, well-paced, and full of twist and turns that will keep you guessing and questioning who to trust - if anyone from the first to last page. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5, my favorite Mary Kubica novel yet. It had everything (and more) that I needed to get out of a reading slump. I found it hard to put down and kept me reading well into the night. Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing for an early copy.

I didn’t love this book, but I didn’t hate it. It was interesting with the twist, but a bit too long chaptered to be the fast paced read a crave. It was a tad better than average but not much.

Thank you Netgalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for the preview.
Another FANTASTIC book by Mary Kubica

So many dark threads weave this thriller together you’ll be kept guessing until the very end.

I highly recommend this thriller be added to your thriller TBR list.
